Debian isn't being asked to do any such thing. I've been thinking about doing this for a long time, one of the points in the proposal I'd written was that DDs would be discouraged from participating since they should be working on supporting the official archive. > For the "not good enough _yet_" there is experimental. experimental relies on DDs to upload, ftpmasters would probably reject packages with no Maintainer field (or a blank one). experimental is not the right place for this. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Is there any reason why a Debian should spend resources to maintain things that are not good enough for Debian? For the "not good enough _yet_" there is experimental. I don't mind if somebody else wants to register "to-bad-for-debian.org" but I also would love if people would discuss such issues on a mailing list of this domain.

I created an updated description. Please see below. One thing i forgot to mention earlier was the feature of logging the http requests directly to a mysql-database. I'm not quite sure, but I think this feature is not supported by most other webservers. Description: small http server Monkey is a small, fast, and easily configurable HTTP/1.1 compliant web server. It implements the following features: . * multi-threading * support for MIME * resume * virtual hosts * CGI and PHP * directory navigation * basic security features (denying access to certain URLs and IPs) * logging directly to a mysql-database instead of using logfiles. * translated documentation .

Why not? unsupported.d.n could be the right place for packages that are "not good enough for Debian (yet)". It could be a good place to merge packages removed from Debian for having no users (or whatever), uploaded to Ubuntu, Nexenta, Preventa, mentors, revu and any other Debian-based distros that have public archives. A while ago on -devel there was a post about automatic creation of rough packages using automatic software discovery and AI techniques for the packaging, such packages could be uploaded to unsupported. Upstreams often make Debian packages but don't upload them anywhere, unsupported could be a place for them. I've often wanted to package some cool software (see the list on my wiki page), but not maintain it forever, so I didn't bother and just moved on. Instead I could just upload to unsupported. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
